the timber embraced in the bid and purchase. He may submit one 
agreement and bond for all the timber awarded him at the sale, the 
agreement and bond to sufficiently identify and describe all the land. 
The bond shall be conditioned for the payment for said timber and

Interior. The agreement and bond may also be filed in the General 
Land Office. Notice of approval of said agreement and bond by the 
Secretary of the Interior shall be wired to the purchasers by the 
General Land Office. 

9. Written notice of intention to begin removal of timber must be

10. The sale of the timber will be subject to the right of the State 
of Minnesota to make selection of swamp and overflowed lands under 
the act of March 12, 1860 (12 Stat., 3), which matter is now pending. 

11. The superintendent of logging and his assistants shall supervise 
the cutting, scaling, and removal of the timber. It shall be their duty 
to see that the rules and regulations are fully complied with; to see 
that no timber other than pine is cut, except as is allowed by the 
Secretary, and that no logs are remoA^ed from the place where banked 
until paid for; to see that all tops and refuse are promptly and 
properly burned or removed to prevent fire; to see that Indian labor 
is employed where practicable; and to supervise and direct the labor 
of the scalers. The superintendent shall make monthly reports of the 
progress of such work, and of the time, habits, and competency of his 
assistants and of the scalers, and he and his assistants shall generally 
jDerform such services in and about the sale of the pine timber on 
said lands and the cutting of the same therefrom, and the care and 
protection of all timber on said lands as may be required of them 
by the said Secretarj^

'^^ 12. The scalers shall see that, before being removed from the tract 
'"-^ where cut, every stick of timber is marked on both ends by the logger 
with a " U. S." marking hammer, and also that it is bark marked; 
and such scalers shall number and scale, under Scribner's rules, in 
the log after being cut and before the same is removed from the place 
where banked all logs cut under the application and agreement under 
said act. 

Said scalers shall keep in suitable books for reference a record of 
the marks, also a complete list of numbers of all logs, with the scale 
of each log set opposite its number, said scale books to be open to the 
inspection of the check scaler or to any authorized government rep- 
resentative at all times. 

13. All timber must be scaled on the banking ground, landing, or 
skidway, and before it is placed on cars or put into the water. 

14. All trees shall be cut with a saw whenever practicable and as 
low down as practicable. 

15. All merchantable water-killed or blown-down pine timber which 
is 6 inches or over at the small end shall be logged. Any such timber 
left in the woods shall be scaled under the direction of the superin- 
tendent of logging and paid for by the purchaser of the timber at 
double the regular stumpage rate. No tree shall be left lodged in 
process of felling. 

1(). So far as reasonable all branches of the logging operations 
shall keep pace with each other. In no instance will the brush piling 
or burning be allowed to fall behind the cutting and removing of 
logs. It is the duty of the superintendent and of his assistants under 
his directions to see that the cutting is, as far as practicable, on con- 
solidated areas and is not distributed here and there over the entire 
tract. 

17. All tops and litter from trees cut under these rules must be 
burned so as to be safe against fire, under the supervision of the 
forest supervisor of the Bureau of Forestry, and at such time as he 
shall select, but the burning of tops or other material larger than 8 
inches in diameter, or of tops or litter not made by logging under 
these rules, will not be required. The piles must be compact and 
large enough to burn clean without repiling, and must not be so near 
young growth or standing green trees as to endanger either of them, 
and must be placed where there is least danger of the fire spreading. 

18. Unnecessary damage to young growth or trees left for seed 
must be carefully avoided. 

19. As few^ log roads as practicable shall be cut, nor shall they be 
made wider than is actually necessary. 

20. In case of the failure of a purchaser to comply with the direc- 
tions of the superintendent of logging and his assistants in the mat- 
ter of the piling and the burning of the brush and debris, the super- 
intendent of logging shall have the same properly piled and burned 
and charge the expense thereof to the purchaser of the timber in the 
next monthly scale bill, first, hoAvever, giving the purchaser written 
notice of his intention to pile and burn the brush and debris and 
allowing him ten days from the date of such notice to comply with 
his instructions. 

21. All instructions and demands from the superintendent or his 
assistants to or upon the loggers or purchasers shall be made in 
wanting, including the demand for payment to be made when due, 
as hereinafter provided for. Legible press copies of such instruc- 



tions and demands must be kept by such superintendent and assist- 
ants in books provided for that purpose. 

22. The timber described in the schedule as being on sees. 23, 24, 
25, and 26, T. 143 N., R. 31 W., which includes only the down tim- 
ber on said sections, must be removed prior to October 1, 1910, and 
the remaining- timber prior to July 1, 1911. In the removal of the 
timber sold hereunder no standing timber shall be cut, except such 
as may be actually necessary in order to remove the down timber, and 
then only Avhen approved by the forest supervisor of the Minnesota 
National Forest, whose decision shall be final in the matter. 

23. The money for the timber cut and scaled during each month 
shpll become due and payable in monthly installments at the end of 
such month, or oftener, in the discretion of the superintendent of log- 
ging, and shall be paid before said logs are removed from the place 
where banked; provided that no payment will be required until 
the scale bills for the timber cut on any bid or contract exceed the 
amount deposited with such bid. The timber may, by permission of 
the Commissioner of the General Land Office, be removed before the 
actual payment of the money in all cases where such course is rec- 
ommended by the superintendent of logging and is approved by the 
proper Indian agent. If not so paid when clue, or within thirty days 
thereafter, and after written demand from the superintendent of log- 
ging, the said contract and the money paid thereunder may be de- 
clared forfeited by the Secretary of the Interior, and the timber may 
be banked, shipped, and sold by the superintendent, under the direc- 
tion of the Secretary of the Interior, and the deposit made at time 
of bid and the net proceeds, after deducting expenses of banking, 
shipping, and selling, applied to the amount due therefor from such 
purchaser or logger, and any excess shall be paid to him. If excess 
be due from the logger after such sale by the Secretary, he shall pay 
the same upon demand from the superintendent. 

24. The scale bills must be approved by the superintendent of log- 
ging and such approval confirmed by the superintendent of Leech 
I>,ake Agency, Onigum, Minn., after examination thereof and of the 
check scale, if any, and thereupon the superintendent of logging shall 
demand payment, and such payment must be made to said superin- 
tendent. Leech Lake Agency, who shall account therefor to the Com- 
missioner of Indian Affairs, and also report the several amounts paid 
to the superintendent of logging and the Commissioner of the General 
Land Office. 

25. The decision of the superintendent of logging shall be final in 
the execution of the foregoing rules. 

26. The violation of any of these rules, if persisted in, shall be 
deemed a sufficient cause for annulling the contract and canceling the 
sale of the stumpage. In case of damages caused by such violation 
of the rules and annulment and cancellation of the contract and sale, 
demand for the amount thereof, after ascertainment and approval by 
the Secretary of the Interior, shall be made by the superintendent of 
logging, and the purchaser will be allowed thirty clays from such 
notice within which to pay the amount due.
